e Southern cause, were asked if they would take the oath of allegiance to the Federal Government. They unanimously refused. A dispatch says that before long Lincoln may try the experiment of setting fire to the Navy- Yard at Norfolk by means of a stream of liquid fire, which has been considered by the Congress Military Committor, is now the lion of Washington. His head and eyes were closely bandaged. He is led from place to place, and attracts universal interest. When introduced to Lincoln a flood of fears gushed from his eyes. Lincoln grasped his hand with warmth, and said we owe to you, sir, the preservation of our navy. I cannot thank you enougLincoln grasped his hand with warmth, and said we owe to you, sir, the preservation of our navy. I cannot thank you enough. No one at the Navy Department could give any answer to the telegraphic dispatches which came thick and fast, asking who, on board the Cumberland and Congress, were killed and wounded. A dispatch from Charlestown, Va., on the 10th, says, that Winchester has certainly been evacuated. At Baltimore, on the 10th, Gen. Dix

hy of Old Virginia's palmiest days, of old Bedford, and of the whole-souled orator, whose heart is on fire with love of country, and his life fervid with the inspiration of genius and heroism. We rejoice that men of all parties are rivalling each other at this critical hour in their devotion to the national cause. There are no longer any parties. The original Secessionists and those who were not so, because they could not conceive human nature capable of such turpitude and cruelty as Lincoln has exhibited, have mingled their blood together upon the altar of their country. It cannot be said of one of the old parties that it has done more than the other in the defence of our soil, that it has contributed one more man, one more dollar, one more drop of blood, one more throb of courageous resistance and determination. The very name of party ought now to cease to exist. It ought not to be recognized in any way or shape, in the camp or the council, in the allotment of public burth

se gentleman have been, with the press, better facilities have been offered for a careful collection of facts than could have been attained elsewhere. Both, too, have been intimate with the events which caused the present revolution, with the facts connected with its beginning, and with the results of the war up to the present moment. This work proposes to trace the progress of political events as concisely as possible, from the establishment of the U. S. Government to the inauguration of Lincoln. Then commences the history of the present war, which will be continued up to the latest moment the pages can be with held from the printer. The value of such a work will be great in a statistical point of view, saying nothing of the interest attached to the description of battle scenes. We hope it may be set before the public at an early date. That it will meet with a ready sale sale and will deserve a wide-spread circulation, the names of the authors are a sufficient guarantee.

A New military more. The New York Tribune says the country will be delighted to hear that President Lincoln intends to take the command in person of the Federal army. The Tribune professes to consider the South as still a part of the country, and therefore it includes us, no doubt, in the delight which is felt that Lincoln iLincoln is about to lead his legions to the field. At any rate, we doubt whether all Yankeedom would hall with such rapture the appearance of Abraham in the battle as his revolted subjects of the South. We have been inviting him to do it all along; we have pointed out to him the example of President Davis, who took the field on the famousevoutly do we hope that it may be true, and that Seward and Chase may be persuaded to accompany their illustrious Chief, as his Aids, to the battle field. If Lincoln will give to the Southern rebels one such chance of retribution as this, not all the coats of mail that Yankee armorers have wrought, and one of which no doubt he

s of works is now at least one mile within those of the present defence; but it is not unreasonable to suppose that bavanush then occupied a smaller proportion of the enclosed area than it does at present; the little germ which Oglethorpe planted has matured into a queenly city, and has become the centre of pulsation for the commercial world of Georgia, and famed for the intelligence and the refinement of its citizens. The siege of Savannah, conducted on the part of the Americans by G. n. Lincoln and Count D' Estaing, was a proof of how much energy and skill might effect. The British force, inferior in number, with a naturally weak position, especially in the centre, history tells us, rendered the works almost impregnable by assault, by diligent and unremitting labor, and compelled the American forces to retire from the siege. Such was the position in 1779. The situation is not materially different now; the besieged then were without a navy, as we are to-day, and D' Estaing's
